Average of 8+4+2! Experts suggest: Should the Rockets chase the championship guard? From 1 to 5, he can become Amen s main substitute

After the Rockets were eliminated from the playoffs this season, everyone knows one thing: although the Rockets are strong overall and have first-class defense, they do need to increase their firepower on the offensive end. Jaylen Green and Van Freit on the outside need to get better, especially Jaylen Green needs to get more points. After all, as the Rockets' No. 1 scorer, Jaylen Green's average of 13 points in the playoffs is really unsatisfactory. The Rockets want to chase a scoring superstar this summer. In fact, if the Rockets fail to get such a superstar, then they will still be able to maintain their position in the top four in the Western Conference next season at least. The Rockets need to make some small signings or transactions this summer to enhance the team's strength, such as signing some free agents, which is also an operation that Manager Rafael Stone can choose.
NBA expert Gillian Wright suggested that the Rockets should chase Pelicans guard Bruce Brown. The expert believes that if the Rockets want to chase superstars like Durant or Antetokounmpo, then some young players and outstanding role players may be sent away. In that case, the Rockets can sign some free agents, such as veteran Brown, which is a good choice.
Brown has now become an unrestricted free agent and can sign any team. If the Rockets get superstars, then with their original lineup, the Rockets still have a chance to sign Bruce Brown - after all, the Rockets have a salary space this summer, and Brown is an excellent swinger, who can serve as a defender and a forward. Even this expert believes that Brown can play from No. 1 to No. 5, much like the Rockets' Amen Thompson.
And Bruce Brown won the championship with the Nuggets, and at that time he averaged 12 points per game in the playoffs. Although he was not the absolute main player, Bruce Brown was an important puzzle in the Nuggets that year.
After that, Brown has gone through multiple teams, such as the Pacers, Raptors and now the Pelicans. This season, Brown can average 8.3 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Although his three-point shooting percentage is only 33%, his abilities are very comprehensive. He can score independently and attack in series. Defense is his strength. Moreover, Bruce Brown's free throw shooting percentage is as high as 81%, and he is also a rare free thrower. This is exactly the type of player that Rockets coach Uduka needs. The expert believes that the Rockets can completely sign Bruce Brown with a cheap contract, just like the Sixers signed Oubre back then.
, and Brown played for two seasons under Uduka, and the two have cooperated with the Nets. Amen Thompson can play from 1 to 5, and Bruce Brown can be Amen Thompson's first substitute - he has good athletic ability and can also take quick shots in the conversion offense to help the Rockets speed up the offensive rhythm.
In this way, if the Rockets can get Bruce Brown, they will upgrade on both offense and defense, and Van Vreet can also find a good substitute. Amen Thompson can stay on the court with confidence and boldness. Even if they perform poorly, Brown can contribute to both offense and defense. So no matter whether the Rockets can get superstars or not, signing Brown is a very reasonable choice.
